Oral question asked in the House of Commons, by Laura Sandys (Conservative). It was answered on Monday, 30 June 2014 on behalf of the Department for Communities and Local Government.
Private Rented Sector
- Question
-
Does my hon. Friend agree that we need to bear down on malpractice in the private rented sector? The Hackney Gazette reports that a councillor who has set up a charity for the homeless refers them to his own estate agency and then places them in properties that he owns in my constituency. Is that not an abuse of our housing system?
- Answer
-
I know the details involved, because my hon. Friend has written to me, and we have forwarded them to the appropriate authorities. The Charity Commission is now examining what my hon. Friend has alleged, and I will not comment any further until after the investigation.
